It wasn’t easy, but Salesianum captured its ninth consecutive boys swimming state championship, nipping Charter School of Wilmington by a mere nine points Saturday afternoon at the University of Delaware’s aquatic center.

It wasn’t until the 500-yard freestyle, in which Salesianum had three top-five finishers, that they were able to wrestle the lead from Charter once and for all.

The rest of the top 10, in order, included: Delaware Military Academy, Newark, Archmere, Concord, St. Mark’s, St. Andrew’s, Cape Henlopen and Mt. Pleasant.
